The Salisbury Poisonings

I was asked by Chris Durfy CAS to assistant him in recording his 2nd Unit on this production.

This show was shot with all natural light, no big drama lighting set ups which meant that things happened fast and you had to be ready to roll, as i was doing 2nd unit i thought it was best to go into “handbag”mode, Instead of having the recorder placed on the sound trolly, this enabled me to quickly place the recorder inside vehicles and pick it back up again for quick short dialouge scenes in Bristol city centre.

I Sound recorded a couple of scenes in the centre of Salisbury to help tie in the city into the scenes that were primarily shot in Bristol as the producers thought it best not to recreate the mass pandimonium the event actually took.

The opening of the show required a recording of the morning prayer inside Bristol Cathedral which i was able to capture with my pair of Schoeps CMC641 expertly handled by 1AS Dewi Jones.
